Let me put it like this:
If you've managed to survive for 400 million years without any real noticeable change while the evolutionary arms race waged all around you...
then you're probably pretty damn perfect.
Yea sharks have changed more then these Gods
They gotta be doing _something_ right.
They've still evolved quite a bit, it's just all internal stuff that isn't easily noticeable.
The body plan's good though so it stays. That's the perfect part.

I like the rabbit.
It's a piece of shit that invades everyone's home while acting all cutesy, dies from loneliness, dies from overcrowdedness, dies from being shocked, dies from being bored, dies from partying too hard. The point is that they're fucking idiots and I love them
I think a pet rabbit/bunny would be neat, the more idiotic a fluffy creature is, the better a pet it is. I mean, that's why domesticated cats have been getting progressively dumber and dumber, yeah? :P
@@DaveyGunface yep, that’s why cats domesticated humans, we’re sufficiently dumb to make good pets.
@@misspurdy27288 why would a cat make a pet out of something they hate?
@@DaveyGunface Domestic rabbits are so dumb that they don't get stressed as much by a real threat of being prey lol
I have a pet rabbit it isn't even afraid of cats (it should be!)
They also have a very high mortality rate when young but they multiply very fast. in a way its the same strategy as a Coelacanth but different stats were priotitized
To be fair, I did slowly introduce my rabbit & cat to each other so now they're friends. My cat doesn't have a high instinct to hunt though, and my rabbit is around the same size. My sister did have a cat that was terrified of my rabbit for some odd reason. He never bit it or anything while they visited, but it'd quickly jog away if my rabbit so much as looked at it. Weird cat.

Yeah, the spot of my favourite animal is contested between sharks and crocodiles for the same reason: youc could go back in time for millions of years, take a look at their predecessors and think "Yep, that's a shark/crocodile".
Crocodiles/Alligators are fucking sick, I don't know how else to put it other than I genuinely forget that they're a real animal until I see footage of them doing their thing.
"Sharkodile" would be a great title for an absolutely terrible Sci-Fi Channel movie.
Blahaj!
sharks an d crocodillians are both far less evolutionarily stable.
I have a certain amount of respect for coelacanth mains. They have absolutely no regard for the meta (based), and don't get as bodied as they really ought to be simply because they're unbearable in PvP. Everything they do is objectively wrong, but they haven't had to change their playstyle even through several patches simply because absolutely nobody wants to deal with them, not even the devs, not even most human mains, which is saying something because those assholes just love to flaunt their OP P2W stats and tech however they can, including fucking with the priorly unfuckable.
That said, I can see why they don't get many new players, since playing as them is just. So. Boring. Hell, even plant players get to have an strategic and engaging resource/time management loop and a fierce meta. I'd only recommend playing coelacanths to people who don't want to interact with the meta but aren't really into, well, fun.
So like season 4 Urgot top mains in league???
@@MLPGamer44 I miss old Urgot. I miss when there was an unequivocal WORST champ in the game and you could bet I mained that fucker. The satisfaction of 8,000 pings and all chat spamming "URGOD" the second you achieve anything higher than a double kill or .8 KDA was heartwarming.
The other week I encountered a Clan of Corvid Players running a janky meme strategy of mimicking the human playstyle, it was just a mix of Crows, Ravens & Other Corvids pretending to be a society for no other reason than to have a Milsim Roleplay
10/10 would spectate again
Here's something arguably even more boring than the coelacanth, Cave fish! Like really any kind. You kinda just stay in a cave and hope some other players excrete waste so you can get xp.
They are basically just vr chat but everyone in the chat is antisocial.
Some Facts remind me about the Greenland Shark, they are pregnant for 8-18 years and need over 100 years to become adults...
It's kind of an wonder how they survive
Greenland sharks also have poisonous flesh!
Good luck eating that shark raw, might as well swallow cyanide with it.
Great White Shark males don't reach sexual maturity until they're 35! Seconding I'm hoping for a Greenland Shark vid to follow the Coelacanth
Aren't they having a really hard time surviving now?
@@1stCallipostle No one knows.
Most of our "endangered" labels are false because we have extremely flimsy understanding of species numbers beyond what we have in pens.
Plenty of "confirmed extinct" species end up popping up decades later.
Now take that uncertainty, and multiply it by 3000% for any stats on sea creatures.
I’m going to school for biology and this is pretty accurate lmao. My other favorite fish that exists because it’s useless is the ocean sunfish (mola mola). Also tasting awful is a legit evolution, lots of bugs have it namely the BoxElder bug
I do really enjoy the fact that the Mola Mola just lays an ungodly amount of eggs. If Coelacanths could do THAT instead of having terrible pregnancies we'd be in business.
unfortunately for the sunfish, it's still not inedible enough to avoid parasites. fortunately for the sunfish, it is inedible enough that birds tend to only eat the parasites when they sunbathe.
also how weird would being a parasite cleaner be? I'm just imagining a scifi or fantasy story in which humans have a symbiotic relationship with some giant sea monsters to remove and consume parasites, imagine walking across a giant sunfish
Mola mola are far more evolutionarily adept than most give them credit for, they're actually better swimmers than originally believed, they purposely sunbathe to remove parasites, it's thought that's also the cause of their breaching behavior where they launch themselves out of the water and slam back down just like many other species. I don't believe that eating jelly fish is a poor strategy, it's vital to an ecosystem and plenty of species do it. It's definitely a more viable strategy to focus hunting an entire genus vs specializing to just eat a handful of select plant species that are very nutritionally poor (Looking at you koalas, and both types of panda)
@@powerup3005 Oh i know most animals have a ecological niche and they serve one but they are kinda a dumb lookin fish and i dont see a huge difference between eating something like jelly fish and pandas with bamboo but thats because im a red panda apologist lol
@@Admiral_Chip red pandas aren't even actual pandas, they're more closely related to raccoons
Don’t forget, theres a frog so small it can’t balance or jump properly; due to their small ears. and they hurt themselves when jumping. And this frog has a mating cry that can’t be heard by the species, because their ears are so small, and we’re not quite sure how they find mates. Even though they have a mating cry. They think it might just be that they can see eachother make the calls, but the sound is not involved. I believe it’s called a Pumpkin Toadlette
Can you imagine swimming into a cave, turning on a lantern, and suddenly there are 5 natural perfect fishes looking at you like 🗿

For me it's the sloth, it's basically the landbased version of a coelacanth. It can only survive on leafs that are poisonous, and have so little nutritional value that it literally doesn't have the energy to turn on its brain most of the time.
what about koalas? aren't they the ones that eat poisonous leaves?

Panda: Is it possible to learn this power?
Coelacanth: Not from a mammal.
“He’s just a cute little man, and has all the qualities a cute little man should have,” cracks me up. I love the way people talk about their dogs, it’s always so funny.
Coelacanths are fucking god tier I love them so much
Also the fact they haven't had to evolve means they are by nature perfect
We seriously need more quality content of people praising random animals like this, it's wonderful.
One day, I shall have crafted the finest critique on why pycnogonids are based.
Also bats are the best animals they have everything, they are fluffy and spooky and crazy diverse
Bats are adorable, maybe not the bigger ones but the smaller ones for sure.
Also gotta love their name in German, Fledermaus, which pretty much just translates to "fluttering mouse" which isn't wrong.
I was watching a nature documentary and when i noticed the fruit bats looked kinda like foxes and were cute i decided that humans are programmed to think any furry triangular face is adorable.
We have no reason to view bats as cute a cuddly considering the disease risk of bats being virus vectors who we should try and stay away from. (But let them eat mosquitoes for us)
@@jasonreed7522 I'm not sure where, but I think I read somewhere that human brains are programmed to think babies are cute and anything that shares traits with babies are also cute. Why are teddy bears cute? Big ol foreheads and Chihuahua eyes. Why are Chihuahuas cute? Big ol foreheads and eyes. There's got to be something about other mammals that spark the same 'aw cute' that babies do.

He has not changed for 400 million years because he is without flaw.
It's very surprising how few animals have evolved to taste bad
now to be fair, we only started farming thel relatively recently.
That’s actually a very common evolutionary strategy, mostly with insects. Many brightly colored insects are either poisonous or just bad tasting. This is to earn predators that they are nasty so they don’t make the mistake of eating them.
Oh, they do sometimes. Then something evolves to not give a shit lmao
Not to mention plants, 95% of them taste terrible
@@dreadcrimson7966 for what we know they evolved to actually like that taste. There is not objectively terrible taste

I always love hearing about this fish. It’s been a long time since I’ve heard the word “coelacanth” and this was a great reminder. Thank you!
Bruh, I was 3 whiskeys deep and went down the CZcams black hole and found this. I don’t know if you said a damn thing during this video or if it was the whiskey speaking through my headphones. Either way you, sir, keep on keeping on, this video made one of my rare days off better. Cheers!

@@Hypnotically_Caucasian Recommendations, scroll one page down from the top of the list and pick something. After a few layers of this you'll be in some very unique territory.
Not a 10 page essay, but I will say that coelacanths as an order [actinistians] have been around for 400 million years, the coelacanth species we have today are relatively recent additions to the order, in the scope of things.
Had to say something.
And to add onto that, the order Actinistia was actually pretty diverse and there are plenty of extinct coelacanths that look almost nothing like the ones alive today

This is my new favorite video of all time. I hope you never feel restricted to make only video game stuff.
It looked at all the fancy evolution everyone else got, and went "no, i do not need this, I need urea in my fucking meat"
The only reason Coelacanath's might not be my new favorite animal is because Tardigrades have survived in the vacuum of space when Nasa threw them out of a rocket. (As well as many other things that would kill most other organisms)
Tardigrades are also chonky
Tardigrades are weird because they will survive the most extreme punishment, yet their most prolific predator in the world isn't some super specialised hunter or anything, its a goddamn snail, not even a special snail, just a regular ass snail... After snails their most common hunter is themselves though, because why not.
Tardigrades basically saw the resistance traits and went "Oh dang, I can become immune to nuclear bombs!? Sick", and then promptly forgot to get any normal defences.

20:45 Holy moly I actually guessed it right. I always found Coelacanths really cool from a paleontological perspective, so it was crazy to hear just how.... lame they truly are. still doesn't really change that I like them, but it was a bit of a sad revelation though those headstands are pretty cool as well as how rare they are in OG animal crossing, where I first learned of the Coelacanth.
“Specifically rural Kansas.”
Felt that in my bones. Growing up, my town’s water wasn’t technically safe to drink. Too high nitrates made it borderline poison and the town had to give out free bottled water to at risk members of the town.
It's crazy, and I may be projecting here but people just got so condescending about it.
No Jonathan, age 57 elementary school P.E. teacher, I CAN drink the dangerous chemical water but I would ultimately prefer not to. Leave me be.
@@DaveyGunface the water near (around a 100km radius) mining zones or near mountains tends to be either disgusting af, or straight away poison. If you go hiking one day in a volcano-riddled land like Japan, Chile, or most countries in Oceania, and see an unnaturally blue river/stream - that water is saturated with either sulphur or sulphuric acid, and anything with lungs or gills that approaches it has a decently high chance of perishing from breathing too close to it.
As a lifelong fan of the Darius series (a long-running series of side-scrolling shmups where the bosses are modeled after sealife), I am VERY familiar with this fishie. The bosses modeled after this old boi (King Fossil and it's ilk) are prevalent throughout the series, often being the first boss.

This is my new favourite video on CZcams my goodness. Coelacanth superiority they are better than humans. This channel is amazing, you manage to convey so much emotion even with the intentionally monotone voice.
If they're too awful to eat I'm shocked they didn't evolve. No pressure forcing them to. Those shark bites may be juveniles testing the world out, occasionally a fish gets bit. I'm sure that young shark will never try eating one again.
Most likely because tasting bad wasn’t a disadvantage so the ones with that gene still did get to reproduce, and tasting bad doesn’t effect the other thing that could kill them, not getting enough food.

Just love that the science community was like “oh my god, these things aren’t extinct?!” and fishermen were just like “what, those? Yeah those things suck. Real garbage fish. Just absolute shit.”
my favorite animal of all time is the Thylacine! cute example of convergent evolution of a dog-like marsupial!
that is sadly a bit on the dead side
There is a chance it might not be dead tho
@@Definitely_not_ai a very small chance, but a chance nonetheless
They live simple lives without much worry. I envy them for that
The thing about coelacanths is they actually have changed quite a bit. For one there used to be way more! The only modern ones live deep in the ocean. There used to be coelacanths that lived in fresh water, coastal ones, coelacanths everywhere. Ours are just the last of a larger family. Some of the freshwater ones were nearly 20 feet long, look up Mawsonia.
Also, they are closer to us land vertebrates than they are to what we normally think of when we say "fish". Closest relatives are stuff like lungfish, which can breathe air for a long time.
If God is proud of the shark and the horseshoe crab, then surely he forgot about the coelacanth
Nah he just made it as a joke
My favourite animal is nerpa- the seal from lake Baikal. Mainly because cute and how did you get here, this lake is >20° from the closest place where the normal seals live
I love how they just stare at walls and do headstands, they're just so dumb you cant help but love them
The behavior makes sense when you consider the theory that deep sea predators really don't have much a metabolism due to being so large. The Irish deep sea Shark (can't remember it's exact name) lives 500 years blind and just kinda mosey through the water.
I love all sarcopterygiians but the coelacanth definitely stands out. Just a lovable luddite living its statistically impossible life.

They have had changes in the bone structures in their heads, which are usually significant for every type of animal even though it may be too subtle to appreciate at first glance.
My favorite is the Kakapo, the worlds fattest parrot. They can't fly their only defense is to stand very still and hope you leave, which worked well until humans introduced rats, cats, and stoats which hunt by smell. They also will not mate unless there is good fruit growth meaning they only have a mating season every 2-4 years. There is also the incident in which a male Kakapo named Sirocco attempted to mate with a zoologist (look up "shagged by rare parrot" if you haven't seen it). Sirocco was later named "spokesbird" of conservation by the New Zealand PM despite his status as a sex offender.
My favorite animal is the pangolin.
Imagine an armadillo with dragon scales was mixed with an anteater, and then given claws that could break through concrete.
And they sometimes live inside hollow trees which is adorable as hell.
Unfortunately I think they’re the most poached animal in Africa, or at least one of the most poached, from something I read.
I first learned about these thanks to relicanth and I've loved them ever since.
You know what I like? I like Mudskippers. Spiny little landfish that live in holes, jump, eat dirt, and fight each other!
The Coelacanth is way too God damn relatable.
Funny enough I’ve got a similar reason for the Nile crocodiles being my favorite. They have remained unchanged for millions of years. They are also able to just choose to become pancakes and solute being insane killing machines that have perfected the art of ambush, they still get bodied by an idiot with a shovel givin them a big ol boop with it
I love how they dont fuck enough to evolve but are also simultaneously the pinnacle of evolution considering they're the oldest and most successful unchanged species not once but twice.
Dragon fish, I was made fun of as a kid for wanting my science project to be that. Note in the late 90's there wasn't too much info on them as a species but I stubbornly plugged on. And now I've found out there are more species and it makes my inner child happy.
Which one, the deep sea one or the pegasus one that's a distant seahorse relative?
Pangolins are my favorite animal hands down. No specific species. Love em so much, they're one of the only things I actually donate money to in order to help their conservation.
Pangolins are awesome, hope being poachers' favourite target doesn't mean we lose these mammalian dragons.
I hated Relicanth as a kid. After this video, I still hate Relicanth, but also his real life counterpart as well.
Awesome video btw

Wait was it a half hour wtf, it went so quick!
Goddam it you convinced me, if anyone asks me "what's your favourite animal" I'd still say cat, but the coelacanth will be my second choice

I already considered the coelacanth to be my favorite fish after helping with an After Effects project with a teacher I had back in high school (who’s unfortunately now dead from cancer, rest in peace, she was an amazing teacher), but after watching this video, I gotta say, it has given me even more reasons to favor this fish out of all the fish that exist in the world
Bravaceps Bagginsi, Baggin's Rain Frog. It is a common rain frog from the coast of South Africa, existing only a rocky beach there. It is the worst at doing frog things. It cannot swim. It cannot jump. It cannot lay eggs. It is a terrestrial frog that gets moisture through its belly as it crawls along the damp, misty rocks of the early morning, hunting bugs before it digs back into the ground to wait for the next cool, foggy day. In these burrows, it lays live young, skipping past the egg and tadpole stage to lay Froglets.
It's tiny, its adorable, and its a bit stupid. I love it.
They're kinda awesome tbh. Just the most chill, simple animal in existence. We could all learn a bit.

Dang, I thought your channel would be bigger. This is the first video I’ve seen of yours and it’s outstanding! Keep it up, you got a sub out of me!
One of my favorite animals is the opossum. Wonderfully adorable and also wonderfully odd. The playing dead act, only marsupial in its neighborhood, prehensile tails, that strange teeth set up
I loved this video. I really wanna see more videos like this from you, if you're willing to do them
i no longer have any idea what your channel is about
it's still entertaining
What is this channel? I adore the humour. I'm quite glad the algorythm randomly threw your Portal Osha video at me.
Their design is like King Crimson, it just works...somehow.
